Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is an allergic granulomatous angiitis, a rare disease of small and medium arteries and veins, associated with the presence of perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA). According to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), there are four or more criteria out of six for the diagnosis: asthma, eosinophilia (> 10% in peripheral blood), paranasal sinusitis, pulmonary infiltrates, histological evidence of vasculitis with extravascular eosinophils, and mononeuritis multiplex or polyneuropathy.
